(If you didn't see my first posting of Distribution "gnu", please let
me know.)
Comments on GNUS (it may have just been an oversight that my digging
through all the code missed turning up the answer to any or all of
these questions):
-- mhspool is provided, I use Brian Reid's mh package for 99% of my mail
transactions and rmail is broken here, though smail will supposedly
work. I just mailed a guy a message about his 24 line .signature
earlier today and haven't gotten a failure message yet, but then again
he never wrote back to flame me.
I would like to use mh-smail rather than smail to shuck off my replies
to articles. I would rather not have to edit gnus.el to do it, but
add it as a variable or hook. I don't like to make hardcode changes
to someone elses hardcode and some other people ar rpi that would get
this from me that prefer smail might not appreciate the mh-smail. Is
there a quick and easy way to do this?
-- I tossed up a very quick elisp routine that converts rn KILL files
to GNUS KILL files. It really wasn't hard at all; an enhancement for
me to do tomorrow will be to add routines for it to search down
hierarchal paths for the rn kill files and return non-hierarchal kill
files. I'll post this soon; I'd like to see anyone else's conversion
programmes though if they exist.
-- bursting Peter Neumann's Risks Digest didn't work. What is the
format problem?
-- (an inews question) I ended up having to uncomment the .signature
code because inews wasn't automatically appending .signatures. Is my
inews broken?
For reference: You're running GNUS 3.10 with NNTP 3.7
(Well, I don't know what -you're- running, but this is what I got from
(insert (gnus-version)))
Thanks in advance for any help which you might provide.
Dave
